Admissions Officer

The College Office is responsible for student administration within Brasenose. It performs a wide range of tasks including schools’ outreach and admissions (including organising interviews for prospective undergraduates), student registry administration (student enrolment, course changes and transcript production), examinations (including both University exams and internal college exams, known as collections). The office is situated in the heart of the College and consists of the Senior Tutor, the Academic Registrar, the Deputy Academic Registrar, the Admissions Officer, the Head of Access and Retention, the Outreach and Schools Liaison Coordinator, and the Academic Assistant. The post holder will report formally to the Senior Tutor.

Brasenose’s core admissions objective is to recruit students with the greatest potential to benefit from an Oxford education, regardless of background. In recent years, the College has attracted a large number of applications from an increasingly diverse range of candidates seeking to become undergraduate or graduate members. On the undergraduate side, Brasenose admits 112 students a year across a balanced range of Humanities, Social Science, and Science subjects. The graduate population is strongly international and students are admitted for a wide range of Masters and Doctorate programmes across the four Divisions (Humanities, Social Sciences, MPLS, Medical Sciences). Brasenose adopts the highest professional standards in admissions administration and the Admissions Officer attends the College’s Admissions Committee and contributes to admissions planning and delivery.

The Admissions Officer is responsible for the practical administration of the Undergraduate and Graduate admission processes. They work closely with the Senior Tutor (who is also Tutor for Admissions), Tutor for Graduates, the Academic Registrar, and the rest of the College Office team. The Admissions Officer is supported by a share of the Academic Assistant’s time. In addition to providing support to College Tutors engaged in student selection, they also liaise with University (Departmental/Faculty) admissions coordinators and the central Admissions Office.
